    You save them as patches. It's the little 'save' icon or the one with the file on the module or instrument. You save your sounds like that. To save your songs you can save it as a .rns file, or you can export it as a .wav or aif. file. for your loops or songs.

    This is fantastic!
    I am working on a song "inspired by" the new Britney Spears single "Hold It Against Me", and Dubstep is a new genre for me, so after doing a bit of research I discovered Reason 5 and purchased a copy this week, but it is a bit complex, so there is a learning curve to it . . .
    This particular Dubsep sound is like the sound heard on "Hold It Against Me", and your tutorial explains how to get this particular sound in a very clear and easy to understand way . . .
    Stellar!

    Also turn your amp sustain all the way up to keep it from losing the sound. For a nice flow from note to note change the Portamento to about 50 and the Polyphony to 1. That transitions from note to note more smoothly. Good quick tutorial!

  • @FollowThatFish
    @FollowThatFish 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @robbaaayyy That's done using automation. Just selevt the synth, press record and move the LFO rate knob when you want to change the wobble rate. Automation records the knob movements, so that's a good tool to learn for other stuff as well.
    You don't need to get it perfectly right when you're recording the movements either, you can edit the automation graph later with the mouse. If you look carefully at the video, you'll see the LFO 1 Rate automation track under the note track.

  • @FollowThatFish
    @FollowThatFish 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @robbaaayyy You can control the wobble frequency by changing the LFO 1 rate. By default it is in this tutorial 3/16, but change it to for example 1/16 to get a faster wobble.

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    yes everything is in the lfo
    yes a microkorg will work as a midi keyboard (its what I use)
    but no you dont need a midi keyboard but it helps!

  • @GyuJazz
    @GyuJazz 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ok, there are two ways in doing this:
    In case you have a synth/keyboard that works with the program, you can press the keys and hear the sound in process. Just select the instrument from the sequencer (please, correct my english or references if I'm wrong) and play.
    In case you don't own a keyboard, you have to draw an "automated" track on pianoroll. Use the pen-icon to draw a box, change to arrow and double-click the new box. That opens the window inside the box. Again, with pen draw the note

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    go to the preferences and select your midi device

  • @RedRavenRuler
    @RedRavenRuler 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @kinglynx I can't say for sure I use FL Studio myself, you can try turning the sync off and messing with the automation clip until you get the right speed (thats the method I use) and with the sync off its easy to get those nice fast to slow "fades" where it gradually slows or speeds up... maybe try adjusting the attack on the AMP envelope to though, that might help a bit as well =)

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    thats true, or you can just got to preferences and have it always go to the initial pact

  • @ThereByTheTrees
    @ThereByTheTrees 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @kyuss You would have to right click on rate, and then click automate, then go to your sequencer window and draw in your LFO rate pattern.
    I hope this helps! : )
    remember that you can right click on pretty much everything to automate it!
    this gives you so much more freedom!

  • @marshallman63
    @marshallman63 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @iTzRuBeNxHD and @nicktasticish you can hook up a midi keyboard to your comp via usb (or whatever port works best for you) or if you don't have an external midi keyboard, you can go to reason prefs and set up your comp keys as a musical typing input for the synth.

  • @gabdooder
    @gabdooder 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @Japipapi yeah, you can do that. I have an R3, but its better to buy an axiom midi controller though and make sure you have a good sound card or an external mixer to act as a soundcard.

  • @EvilOverlord96
    @EvilOverlord96 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @XanEism you use the automation. right-klick on any knob or fader and klick on "edit automation" (should be the first in the list. Don't know exactly, as i'm using the german version). a green box appears arround the knob or fader. Now you can change the values during recording. In the video there is also an automation lane. it's the "track" below "Lane 1". I hope i could help you and my english is not too bad

  • @RollAnotherJ
    @RollAnotherJ 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @purplesloth101 if this hasnt already been answered, its in the box on the subtraktor synth which says LFO1, its called rate (next to the sync key)

  • @LightsOutdnb
    @LightsOutdnb 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @XanEism - make sure record is enabled on the automation lane for the LFO you are using. Hit record then when you change it , the changes will be recorded

  • @Roopfert
    @Roopfert 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @VFXMediaHD go down by the track and the note lanes and right click and go to parameter automation. The rate on the subtractor controls the wobble speed.

  • @deadithink
    @deadithink 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @xxxNightstalker1xxx It's the LFO rate editor under the MIDI arrangement.

  • @tonesproject
    @tonesproject 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    i like these tutorials man
    you could totally take these vids to the next level by writing out everything you're going to say, rehearsing it a few times first, then editing the audio so you can cut out extra stuff like parts where youre correcting yourself etc.. maybe edit in some text to indicate whats going on at certain points...
    sharpening up the overal presentation will help a lot. good videos

  • @Greganosarus
    @Greganosarus 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @XanEism
    You can do it Manualy by right clicking on the "RATE" knob of the LFO in your chosen synthesizer
    A pop up menu will appear and at the top of the menu is EDIT AUTOMATION
    Left click that and it will create a track in the sequencer where you can draw in your automation. Hope that helps...
    you can also set it to be self modulated by another LFO but i think you should leave that until you understand reason a bit more

  • @thegrandmusic1
    @thegrandmusic1 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    right click on the subtractor in the sequencer and create a parameter automation. he changes the LFO rate to a faster tempo

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    you can play it on the keyboard in reason or an external midi device

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    to be honest with you i know very little about the numbered wav forms in subtractor, i stumbled upon this by accident, wave forms 8 and 13 also sound great!

  • @ntnnot
    @ntnnot 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Googleing it, you'll find a lot of info, but basically with sidechaining (sidechain compressing) you can make one signal dodge another signal. E.g. if your bassline overpowers your kickdrum, by sidechaining you can make the bassline signal become more silent each time the kickdrum triggers. You can also create a "pumping" effect to your track, which e.g. Daft Punk have used.

  • @SeeDVicious
    @SeeDVicious 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    @brazen604
    in the sequncer you can find a button the first one in that long line,press it and you'll be given a virtual keyboard.
    And he played the sound(obviously)with his midi keyboard.

    This is the best tut I've seen for dubstep wobble bass. Nice job.

  • @j___olga
    @j___olga 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @DaChinaMann go to 'edit' -> 'preferences' -> select audio in the dropdown menu and see if you selected an audio card driver

  • @ADVANCEDBREAKAGE
    @ADVANCEDBREAKAGE 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another tip for that frantic movement sound is using the lfo 1 route it to mix, have two diffrent sounds on both oscillators and turn the mix amount two say 10,oclock or 2 o clock althougth tweak to taste no strict rule and either keep octaves same or below and ad fm to get some real dirty scream u can also try stacking te sounds and try routing lfo to fm amount .

  • @GyuJazz
    @GyuJazz 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love the way you explain things very "not-professional" style.
    All I would like to hear is more comments on WHY you - for example - choose the oscillator mode six (what makes it more different from other possibilities) and such.
    Good stuff though, I'm learning tons of new things.

  • @aprilliac
    @aprilliac 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @purplesloth101 right click on the rate knob in the lfo1 box and click edit automation. the track should be down in the sequencer area.

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    ohhh well you do need to wait for the microkorg, you do need midi to control it a regular keyboard wont work, what I was saying is that you can lay the notes out by hand on your computer (very tedious) but midi keyboards are alot easier than that

  • @BordumBeats
    @BordumBeats 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @rikwilson89 on the rate right click and then click edit automation (cnt spell) then do the draw clips on the numbers were ur notes r then click dots and move them around... hope u can understand that and hope it helps

  • @SmartStr33t
    @SmartStr33t 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent, clear and pitched just right. Thanks for this tutorial...

  • @MrJaysuis
    @MrJaysuis 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @1nonlyLuigi basically you right click on the 'Rate' button and click 'Edit Automation' which then creates a new arranger called LFO RATE which should be merged with the LANE 1 of your subtractor. Draw a box with the drawing tool along the LFO rate bit, then click in it and it should be up the automation page for LFO. You can either press record and then move the rate manually with the mouse, or just draw it in yourself. Drawin at 127 will make the LFO super fast wobble, and lower. slower. Peace

  • @Woodworth19
    @Woodworth19 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @awb125 You need to write in some notes (if you don't have a midi keyboard)
    Just click the pencil tool (bottom left) and draw in a bar in the sequencer to the right of the image of the subtractor (also bottom left) then double click the newly drawn bar and use the pencil tool to draw in some notes, change the 'Bar' drop down box to a fraction if you want smaller notes.
    @xxzkllLjOyzxx it's the Rate knob, next to 'LFO' that determins the speed

  • @j___olga
    @j___olga 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @DaChinaMann well then it means ur subtractor isn't wired to ur mixer/ wired incorrectly. press tab (on your rack), then see if your audio output of your subtractor is connected to the mixer (correctly obviously: Left goes in Left output and for R the same). and if thats all correct and u still have no sound... it might be because u didnt select an audio card driver in your preferences.

  • @Luckydatemusic

  • @ninjaassassin27
    @ninjaassassin27 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @purplesloth101 adjust the rate of the wobble with the lfo 1... you can also automate it in paramater automation, for really sick leads.

  • @djskippimusic
    @djskippimusic 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    you can manually automate the frequency, which is a little more complicated than an LFO, but it gives you more control over the sound. to do this you right click the frequency knob and the first in the list is "edit automation" click that(if you're in a combinator it may be easier to program a knob for it) then draw the automation, but instead of you drawing the LFO rate(in this video) you're telling the computer "at this point i want the frequency to equal 'x'" x being what the value is set to

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    right click on the lfo 1 rate and click "create automation" then just change the rate while you record!

  • @Luckydatemusic
    @Luckydatemusic  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    no you do not need a keyboard, click on the little keyboard button on your sequencer to draw the notes manually

  • @ometopi
    @ometopi 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @DottorHZ You need to right click on the subtractor, and click initialize patch!

  • @djskippimusic
    @djskippimusic 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    ran out of room, but if you still cant hear anything after that, or if you hear the sound for the demo song already with out changing anything, check you're wiring and make sure output goes to the mixer, and mixer output goes to the hardware interface

  • @IGroomsI
    @IGroomsI 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @purplesloth101
    Right click on the LFO rate and click "edit automation"
    This makes a track in your sequencer where you can draw in different rates.

  • @limpanpcteam
    @limpanpcteam 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @purplesloth101
    By the LFO rate (modulation). If u look close u see that he has an LFO automation bar, where u can automate it, kinda.

  • @YouGotPwnd
    @YouGotPwnd 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @bassmasta41
    You have to draw a segment with the pencil (W) that the notes will go, then double click with the pointer (Q) then the keyboard will pop up, then you use the pencil again to draw in the notes..
    Or you could click the "Edit Mode" on the top left of the layers box to get the keyboard to show up on the layer you have selected, then just click the "Edit Mode" box again to put the keyboard away..

  • @iownu1000
    @iownu1000 14 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @AngryLlamaAttack
    @AngryLlamaAttack 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @5jefferydollars
    i dont think he slowed it down. He basically automated the frequency or something to sweep. to do this, use the combinator.. click thor then find rotary 1 > frequency then right click rotery and click automate

  • @TheGranstaffs
    @TheGranstaffs 13 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video thanks for the lesson very helpful - and for those who ask how to change the speed just click on the rate for LFO and move up to the next time signature. That will do it. Make sure in record when you do that.
    Cheers

    check your sound settings.
    right click my computer,go to manage,then in the left panel click device manager. expand Sound,Video & game controllers right click each in the list and click update driver.
    load up reason and the default reason song, press play then go to edit>>preferences and at the top where it says "page" with a drop down box next to it select audio, and where it says audio card driver,click through and change the selected driver till you hear something.

    @leedamanz12 Hey man, you got a midi keyboard set up? When a key is pressed on the keyboard, it'll play back the sound for you! If you haven't got a keyboard, best thing to do is to put in the notes, have it loop that section where the notes are and play the track. Bit more fiddly but that's why people use keyboards ;) Hope this helps!

    @samgee500 It sounds to me like you have the wrong track selected.

    Hope that solves it :)

    There's an annoying noise when I start a note, it sounds like a small rodent being squashed by a computer chip.
    I'm not to fond of it, and I'm trying to get rid of it.
    The only thing I've found that works is attempting to EQ it out, where I can't quite find the right frequency, and turning up the attack on the amp envelope.
    It doesn't get rid of it completely, but, it does help.

    @JokerMansBeats 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've used reason since 1.0 but I never used subtractor or stock sounds. I use NNXT & Dr. Rex Loop to trigger my own samples/Rex files i've created by recording all of my kits & instruments from my outboard gear & chopping them up with Recycle. So this might be a dumb question but how do you speed up & slow down the wobble as you play the notes? Or do u edit it after u record your notes? If so u should have shown that process aswell. Because some of us are still lost trying to recreate this lol
